Sydney driver crashes while lecturing dashcammer

A Sydney motorist who took it upon himself to critique another's driving style mouthed his way into a humiliating bingle in the city's north yesterday.

The driver of a black Volkswagen Golf became so incensed when he judged a dashcammer to have strayed over the speed limit in Pennant Hills Rd that he decided to teach him a lesson, beginning with a brake check.

Naturally his rival reacted with a few taps of the horn, prompting the man in the Golf to remind him that they were in Thornleigh, not Eastern Creek.

"It's not a race," the Golf driver insisted, just as he sailed into the back of what looks like a Mercedes sedan.

"You idiot," the dashcammer can be heard saying.

It was no doubt an awkward wait for the green light for the Golf driver, whose contention that "it's not a race" was rather irrelevant – the speed limit on that stretch of road is 70km/h, while the readout on the video shows the dashcammer's speed peaked at 69km/h.
